A Georgia trooper fatally shot a man during a confrontation that happened after the man drove away from a DUI checkpoint Friday night, the GBI said. Jarvis Lykes, 35, also didn’t pull over after the trooper attempted a traffic stop after Lykes left the checkpoint, which was also conducted by the Columbus Police Department, GBI spokesman Bahan Rich said in a news release.

Charges have been dismissed against a retired fire chief who was arrested after he pulled a woman from a wrecked vehicle. On Oct. 10, 2017, Rick Rickerson was driving on GA 109 in Meansville, Ga. when he saw a diver lose control of her car. Rickerson jumped into action to help the woman.

A former elected official used the N-word several times during a public meeting, offending a black member of a Georgia city's board of commissioners. The tense exchange between the two men happened on the same day that the Atlanta suburb of Griffin, Georgia, declared April as Confederate History Month. While speaking about the declaration during the public comments portion of the meeting, Larry Mr Johnson, a former member of the board who is white, immediately turned his attention to Rodney McCord, who appears to have been one of two black officials at the table.

An 11Alive investigation uncovered a Georgia nursing home resident died from a scabies infestation. A forensic pathologist who reviewed the case estimates millions of parasitic mites essentially ate her alive over several months or possibly years. According to a pending lawsuit filed by the family, 93-year-old Rebecca Zeni died in 2015 from scabies at the facility. The autopsy report shows the cause of death as “septicemia due to crusted scabies.” State health officials were notified about a scabies outbreak at the nursing home multiple times, but did not inspect the LaFayette, G. facility.

A police department in Georgia is defending its decision to tase a 87-year-old grandmother who was cutting dandelion greens outside her house. Martha Al-Bishara was tased outside her Chatsworth home when she was encountered by a local police officer as she was cutting leaves with a knife last week. After noticing the tool, the officer asked the woman to drop the knife and when she didn’t, he tased her.

A small Christian college in Georgia has said it is cutting ties with Nike over its Colin Kaepernick ad campaign, claiming the former NFL player was "mocking" law enforcement and the military by protesting during the national anthem. Truett McConnell University (TMU) in Cleveland announced Friday that it will stop carrying Nike products in its campus store, and donate the proceeds from any remaining products to Wounded Warriors, a veterans charity, and the Fraternal Order of Police.

A wild scene unfolded in Winder over the weekend – a Georgia State Patrol car slammed into the front of a house after a high-speed chase, while the renter was sitting on the porch. Luckily, Steven Wilhelm said he was able to jump out of the way and run inside seconds beforehand. “I don’t even think he touched the brake, so I took off into the house,” Wilhelm said. “I no more than closed the glass door and he was up on the porch.”
